'Now, when we’re giving Daisy her night-time bath, we always remind her that this was where she was born' 🥺️🛁
I don’t remember feeling fear in those moments, I was relieved as I knew my baby was almost here. Nobody can tell you how long your labour will last but once the head is out, you have a good idea that you are in the last stretch.
Francine rushed upstairs to assist and a few moments later I had pushed out my new daughter Daisy and we were sat in a bath of blood. The rush of endorphins I felt was incredible. I was so happy the birth was over and that my daughter was here. It had been eight hours in total, which is short compared to most labours.
A few moments later my new baby, fiancé and I were all tucked up in bed eating Digestive biscuits and drinking tea. I had some difficulty expelling my placenta so the midwives needed to help with the removal. But an hour or so later and they had left us to enjoy our time together as a new family.
